The funny thing about the Prince's statements is that he's absolutely correct. He's railing against people who have no training, skill, or qualifications, who are saying they have the same right to hold difficult or high paying jobs as someone who is better trained, better educated, has more skill, or who has put in the time to become qualified to do that specific job.
He's right, and the damned liberal socialist "equality" loudmouths who apparently aren't qualified to do anything but gripe about what the Prince says, are making a big deal out of nothing. When an uneducated loser shows up expecting a job as a handout when he's done nothing to earn the position or prepare himself for a job with some responsibilities, he can go suck an egg and I'll give the job to someone who cares enough to be prepared.
But of course to the tabloid press and the commie pinko masses, that's an elitist old-world attitude and it simply isn't progressive enough for our current enlightened society. Those loudmouths are having to take great lengths to avoid the fact that Prince Charles has spent an enormous amount of time and effort furthering basic education and skills training programs to address the very issue he brought up in the memo, but again the idea that an ignorant lazy slacker isn't equal in every way to an Oxford grad is elitist and worthy of a media frenzy.
The soviet union tried that... It didn't work too well even before Reagan decided we were going to bankrupt one of the richest (in natural resources) countries in the world. If the Soviets had recognized personal ability and training or Karl Marx had worked an ability-based status mechanism into his theories, they'd probably own most of the world by now.
But it's fun to bash the royals and anyone in power, and the stupider the general population gets, the more idiotic tabloids they buy, and the more they're flooded with idiotic attacks against anything that is rational in the world. The cute phrase "reading that magazine just made me stupider" isn't a joke when it comes to the most popular rags in the US and England. People believe this stuff because it's so hard to read things that actually make sense, they just read and believe whatever is printed in the tabloids and call it "news".
